Demon Venerable: Starting as a True Disciple

I spent five minutes skimming through the first three chapters and noticed hints of the Great Dao Contention, Dao Lord: Starting from the High-Grade Golden Core, Xuanjian Immortal Clan, Wufa Wuji, Xuanxiao Immortal Lord, and Yusha. I wonder if Dao Fruit, Taihao, and Immortal Gourd will be added later...

Not bad, much more interesting than some of the dog-related stories on the list.

The protagonist starts with a Golden Core, a trope seen in many novels; those who know, know. Overall, it's quite well-written. As the synopsis states, it truly captures the spirit of a great sect's prodigy, avoiding the cliché of stealing others' opportunities out of disdain. It has a classical cultivation feel, yet it's not quite.

First of all, the review already states in the synopsis that there's no female lead, but you've placed a female supporting character at the top. What am I supposed to think? Is this female supporting character just there to be toyed with by the anti-heroes? And with no female lead and so many male supporting characters so early on, the protagonist is either a lesbian or gay.

Decisive and ruthless, not overly sentimental, this book is generally very good! But there's one flaw I don't quite understand: is that little green snail demon trying to disgust people?

Finally found it! This is what demonic cultivation should be like. Finally, it's not one of those stories that's all about showing off, being cool, and describing someone as cold-blooded, ruthless, and bloodthirsty, only to turn out to be a low-brow novel disguised as a demonic cultivation story, filled with pretentious face-slapping slaps.

Wasn't the part where the protagonist kills the dragon girl pretty good? This is already better than most books on Qidian.

I'm casting my monthly vote not for more updates, I just want you to stop disappearing and give me some definite answers. Please stop messing with my mindset. 😭

Three days without an update or a break, looks like it's going to be abandoned. Once this kind of writer loses their nerve, they'll almost certainly abandon it. No need to waste time, can remove it from my bookshelf. 😅

Focus on the main characters; this isn't an ensemble piece. During chaotic battles, supporting characters get more screen time, forcing viewers to skip ahead. You can write it like this: it follows the main character throughout, and a simple explanation is sufficient when needed. There's no need to use descriptive language. The main storyline is somewhat weak.
